On the e-commerce side, Thanksgiving costs are on the rise across the board. Statista Infographics forecasts a $4.4 billion expenditure on Thanksgiving Day, up from $3.7 billion in 2018. Similar increases can be seen on Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well. Cyber Monday has the highest expected e-commerce expenditures in 2019 at $9.4 billion, up from last year’s spending of $7.9 billion.

Surprisingly, the costs associated with Thanksgiving dinner itself remain virtually identical from last year. A report from the American Farm Bureau shows that the classic ingredients for a Thanksgiving dinner to feed 10 people will cost $48.91 in 2019, which is just one penny higher than last year’s estimate.

This price includes the following costs:

• A 16-pound turkey ($20.80)
• 3 pounds of sweet potatoes ($3.75)
• 30 ounces of pumpkin pie mix (3.32)
• One gallon of whole milk ($3.10)
• 14 ounces of cubed stuffing ($2.68)
• 12 ounces of fresh cranberries ($2.66)
• Two pie shells ($2.52)
• 12 rolls ($2.50)
• One-half pint of whipped cream ($2.08)
• One pound of green peas ($1.49)
• One pound veggie tray with carrots and celery ($0.79)
